Semiconductor capacitance penalty per gate in single- and double-gate FETs

View publication

Abstract

We show that the double-gate (DG) FET geometry has lower gate capacitance per gate CG and lower sheet carrier density per gate NS than the single-gate (SG) FET geometry for the same gate-stack because the semiconductor capacitance CSC is a property of the channel, and therefore, CSC per gate of the DG FET is one-half that of the SG FET. This effect is marginal in FETs with high effective mass and/or high valley degeneracy channel materials but is fairly pronounced in FETs with low effective mass and/or low valley degeneracy channel materials. © 2014 IEEE.
